my facebook exploded with posts about big rise in gas prices in affected areas.   i hope this isn't true.

PG&E isn’t shutting off power out of the goodness of their heart. It’s totally financial. They already declared Chapter 11 earlier this year because of the financial liability from the Paradise fire.

I’m so glad we got a standby generator. Peace of mind. It has come on several times so far. My worry is a winter storm knocking out power for days.

Our power is expected to be restored sometime on Thursday.

In the 43 years I have lived here in Sonoma County, we never had to go through this before.  I realize it,s because of the fires, but I think they are taking revenge because of getting sued and we are getting the brunt end of it.

@dulwich  et al, this is a real hardship.  I understand the rationale but that is a long time to be without power.  Are your insurance rates through the roof? Do you really get a lower power bill as a result?  If the company is facing bankruptcy that does not bode well.  Sending prayers your way.,  I am assuming people are not on wells in your area?  LM

I'm so glad we invested in our whole house generator.

This is just the beginning. As climate change continues to escalate, we'll be having more and more of these planned outtages. You can't blame the electric company. They don't want to be responsible for more destruction. I suppose they could bury all the lines, but that would raise costs substantially. Pick your poison, because it's only going to get worse.
